Almost half way on which so far has been our best passage to date. School is
going well, I am doing a project with the kids every morning. I asked hem
both to think about an Island that they have just discovered. Day 1 was
aerial and landscape view, position, currency flag, name. We now starting to
populate and urbanize the islands. They are loving it, and I hope through it
they will learn a lot. Although the projects are the same, Cal has to do
more on working out land mass, writing, thinking etc.
We are on various nets every day, mornings we catch up with friends at 6.30
am, then at 9 am there is the Pacific net, today I am hosting a quiz, lets
see how that goes down. Actually lets see how you do!
